Hello and welcome to dangerous ideas. I'm Lee Camp to the tens of thousands of you watching around the world. Thank you for being here. Big show today. I've got an icon and a friend of mine, Professor Richard Wolfe. He'll be on in just a minute.

But I have so many other important stories for you as well. After I finish up with Professor Wolf,

I'll be talking about the leaked audio recording from the UK government admitting, and I'll play the recording,

admitting that Israel is violating international humanitarian law.

Also, there is breaking news of Israel bombing the Iranian consulate and Damascus,

killing a top general, one of the Iranian top generals there, widening this war into

something that is very, very scary. Not that it hasn't been for 178 days now. It has been

scary and horrific since day one. But anyway, I'll be covering all that and much more in just a few

minutes. But let's get started with the head.

Let's start with the headliner.

And then we'll go backwards from there.

Truly an honor to have him on the show yet again.

As I mentioned, a friend of mine, but also professor of economics emeritus University of Massachusetts.

Amherst, visiting professor at New York School, sorry, New School University in New York.

Also, new book coming out, The Sickness is the System, When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from

Pandemics or itself.

He has several other books, which are bestsellers. Please welcome Richard

Wolf. Thank you very much, Leah. Really glad to be here. Thank you for being here. And happy

birthday. Thank you. That's a double kindness of yours. Thanks. I remember 36. It's a golden age.

Yes, yes.

Right up there with 37.

So I wanted to start with China, which is a big presence these days, an important story.
